Install the Chrome extension for the Experience League documentation
About the Chrome extension
This tutorial has been made generic so that it can easily be reused by anyone, using any Adobe Experience Cloud instance.
In order to make the documentation reusable, Environment Variables were introduced in the tutorial, which means that you’ll find the below placeholders in the documentation. Every placeholder is a specific variable for a specific environment, and the Chrome extension will change that variable for you to make it easy for you to copy code and text from the tutorial pages and paste it in the various user interfaces that you’ll be using as part of the tutorial.
An example of such values can be found below. Currently, these values can’t be used yet but as soon as you install and activate the Chrome extension, you’ll see these variables change into normal text that you can copy and reuse.
--aepImsOrgId--907075E95BF479EC0A495C73@AdobeOrg--aepImsOrgName--Experience Platform International--aepTenantId--_experienceplatform--aepSandboxName--one-adobe--aepUserLdap--vangeluwAs an example, in the below screenshot you can see a reference to aepSandboxName.
Once the extension is installed, that same text will be changed automatically to reflect your instance-specific values.
Install the Chrome extension
To install that Chrome extension, open your Chrome browser and go to: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/tech-insiders-learning-fo/hhnbkfgioecmhimdhooigajdajplinfi. You’ll then see this.
Click Add to Chrome.
You’ll then see this. Click Add extension.
The extension will then be installed, and you’ll see a similar notification.
In the extensions menu, click the puzzle piece icon and pin the Platform Learn - Configuration extension to the extension menu.
Configure the Chrome extension
Go to https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/platform-learn/tutorial-comprehensive-technical/overview and then click the extension icon to open it.
You’ll then see this popup. Click the + icon.
Enter the values as indicated below, which are all related to your Adobe Experience Platform instance.
If you aren’t sure what values to enter for these fields, follow the below guidance.
AEP IMS Org Name
When you log in to your Adobe Experience Platform instance on https://platform.adobe.com/, you’ll find the name of your instance in the top right corner of your screen.
AEP IMS Org ID
The IMS Org ID is the unique identifier for your Adobe Experience Cloud instance, and it’s referenced in multiple locations throughout this tutorial.
Finding your IMS Org ID can be done in multiple ways. If you’re not sure, check with one of the system administrators of your instance to find the ID.
You may be able to find it by going to Admin Console, where you can find it as part of the URL.
You may also be able to find it by going to Data Management > Queries in your AEP menu, where you can find it under Username.
Please ensure to copy and paste the @AdobeOrg part along with the ID.
AEP Tenant ID
Your Tenant ID is the unique identifier for your organisation’s AEP instance. When you log in to your Adobe Experience Platform instance on https://platform.adobe.com/, you’ll find the tenant id in the URL.
When you enter it in the Chrome extension, you should ensure that an underscore is added as a prefix, so in this example experienceplatform becomes _experienceplatform.
AEP Sandbox Name
Your sandbox name is the name of the environment you’ll be using in your AEP instance. When you log in to your Adobe Experience Platform instance on https://platform.adobe.com/, you’ll find the tenant id in the URL.
Before taking the sandbox name from the URL, you should ensure you’re in the sandbox that you should use for this tutorial. You can switch to the right sandbox by clicking the sandbox switcher menu in the top right corner of your screen.
In this example, the AEP Sandbox Name is one-adobe.
Your LDAP
This is the username that will be used as part of the tutorial. In this example, the LDAP is based off of the email address of this user. The email address is vangeluw@adobe.com so the LDAP becomes vangeluw.
The LDAP is used to ensure that the configuration you’ll be doing will be linked to you, and won’t conflict with other users that may be using the same instance and sandbox that you’re using.
Your values should look similar to these.
Finally, click Create New.
In the left menu of the extension, you’ll now see a new icon with the initials of your environment. Click it. You’ll then see the mapping between the Environment Variables and your specific Adobe Experience Platform instance values. Click Activate Configuration.
After activating your configuration, you’ll see a green dot next to the initials of your environment. This means that your environment is now active.
Verify tutorial content
As a test, go to this page.
You should now see that all Environment Variables on this page have been replaced by their true values, based on the activated environment in the chrome extension.
You should now have a similar view to the below, where the environment variable aepSandboxName has been replaced by your real AEP Sandbox Name, which in this case is one-adobe.
